A Boy. Daring experiment..

Some years ago Professor Mason, Of New
Haven, Conn, was the lecturer on physiology
and toxicology at that college, and Il was his
custom to illustrate his lectures with expert
ments upon the lower animals. On one oc-
casion, while telling the students the effects
Of various poisons, he remarked that the In
dams Of South America were accustomed 20
use poisoned arrows 10 kill their game with.
The poison used was known as woorara, and
IL could be taken into the stomach, he said,
without injury; but II a single drop OF tho
stuff should DO injected into the blood fatal
results would at once follow. To prove his
experiment, he took a small quantity and in
jected 1t into the stomach OF q dog, which
seemed TO cause the animal no Inconvenience.
Then he injected drop more into the veins
OF pigeon. The bird died instantly.
The following day one OF the students
asked what would DO the effect IL one OF
them should eat the bird Mason replied
that be did not know The boy who was
helping him, now the United States assistant
district attorney, volunteered the informa-
ton that the person eating the pigeon would
have a good meal, and that that was the only
result likely to follow He said that he spoke
from experience, as he had eaten that identi-
cal bird. The professor was nstounded, his
hair fairly stood on end, as he remarked:
@Well, my boy, you have far more faith In
my experiments than have myself. would
not have eaten that bird under any consider

Filters Which Arc Useless.

The Rhode Island Medical society has just
listened to paper by DR.. Swarts, Of Provi-
dence, in which he gives the results of series
of experiments on various devices for filter
ing water at the mouth Of the faucet. These
experiments were carefully made under the
conditions usually presented in dwelling
houses. His conclusions are wholly unfavor-
able to any form of filter within his knowl-
edge He reports that the best Of them can
only cleanse the water of possible microbes,
or disease germs, for few hours after their
first application; that after this time 1t Is i'm
possible thoroughly to clean the filter, and it
becomes place of deposit and accumulation
Of the germs themselves, which are liable to
propagate at the ordinary temperature Of
kitchens at a very rapid rate. Thus the filter
Is worse than none He concludes that the
only safety in the matter is TO use that which
is known to be pure, or if this cannot be
known with certainty. to use only water that
has boiled and cooled with pure ices, which is
very conservative and sound advice. -BOSton

The "Mashing" Nuisance.

It has long been the boast of the American
citizen that any respectable woman can walk
the streets of his cities without fear Of annoy
ance or insult, but one only needs to make a
tour of the principal avenues and parks of
New York to be convinced that the boast
when applied to this city is to a certain extent
an empty one. That class Of individual who
considers the only proper employment for a
gentleman Of leisure to be the fascination Of
the gentler sex is at the present moment es-
pecially rife in certain parts Of this town.
The masher is becoming more pler'itul than
ever He is visible in the street car, busily
engaged in endeavoring to stare all the ladies
seated near him out Of countenance; In the
theatre, favoring the star of the evening with
a suave grin and mysterious winks, intended
to have a very fascinating effect upon her; in
the stores, leering at the shop girls, and in the
streets, seeking his prey wherever he can
find 1t.
There is no remedy against this nuisance.
He is very rarely arrested, and even when
some irate escort gives him his deserts In the
way of thrashing, the impression made by
the properly applied boot is but a physical
one, and mentally he remains incorrigible.-

A Story Of George Sand.

There was time when Liszt was the only
man in the world who could withstand the
charms Of Nine Dudevant better known as
George Sand. One day Liszt said to her,
Madame, st. Anthony and are not the only
men beyond your reach. l can name scores who
are impervious to your advances" II chal-
lenge you to do it" she cried, piqued at the
affront to her vanity. "Where are they, and
who are theyi" "The monks of La Grande
Chartreuse, madame" replied List, with q
smile, land now, may beg light for my
cigarP George Sand, however, did not dis
miss the subject from her mind 50 carelessly
What a scandal it would cause! But what a
triumph It would be to enter that famous
monastery, within whose walls no woman
had ever set foot! Forthwith she set about
It, She disguised herself as man and went
thither. The disguise was successful No
one suspected her sex and she was freely ad-
mitted. Three days she spent there unde-
tected.
On the fourth she met a monk whom she
had known. A few years before he had been
a gay young nobleman. He had fallen a
victim to her charms After time she had
cast him off for a new lover, and, driven al
most to madness, he had fed to La Grande
Chartreuse and Become a monk. She knew
him the moment she met him and he knew
her, and each recognized the others knowl-
edge "Why have you come hither" he
gasped. Her quick wit supplied ready an
swer: "For love of you" "Impossible"
"Alas, yes, FRANCHISE, it is too trueI" said she.
~ cast you off, confess; but after you had
gone found that loved you better than my
own soul My life has been hell without
you; and, see, have come hither at risk Of
my life to see you again and then die" He
was terribly agitated. He still loved her, but
he could not break his vows and escape from
the monastery. "If you are discovered" be
exclaimed, 1--WE must both perish. What can
we dor "Let me go in peace" said she. II
have looked upon your face once more, and
am content" So that very day she departed
from the monastery and returned home.
When she saw Liszt again she said to him:
"You are right, my friend. The monks are
beyond my reach" And what became Of the
monk who had known herr He lived many
years longer, and was noted among his breth-
rem for his holiness of life and gentleness Of
spirit When one day word came to him by
chance that George Sand was dead he went
to his cell and shut the door. An hour later
his brethren went to seek him and found him
dead.-Chicago Herald.

The Missing Vote from Ohio.

A remark made by Col. Ingersoll at that
convention Republican, in 1sSOl, IL it has
been published, will not suffer by republica-
ton. When Garfield's name became promi-
nent, after the weary balloting, lngersoll sat
on the platform just behind two ladies who
were strangers to him. The state Of Ohio,
with forty-four votes, was called, and the
chairman got up and cast forty-three votes
for Garfield Garfield was a member Of the
delegation, and refused to vote for himself.
The two ladies who occupied seats in front OF
IngersolI did not not understand or appreci-
ate the situation.
II wonder" said one of them, "what Ohio
means by casting only forty-three votesP
II cannot imagine" replied her companion.
1.-THE secretary certainly said the state had
forty-four votes"
II do wonder what it can mean" repeated
the first lady.
IngersoI, who had been hearing the con-
versation and getting very nervous, could
stand it no longer. Leaning over. he ad-
dressed the ladies as follows:

you what it means. 1t means that James A.

Bismarck Grinding an Organ.

In Berlin recently there was a birthday
party in honor Of the eldest son Of Prince
William, eldest son of the crown prince.
Among the presents was small barrel
organ from Prince Bismarck, A few days
later the 5-year-old heir Of the imperial
throne complained to Prince Bismarck that
1t tired him very much to play the organ,
and asked him to play something. The
chancellor complied, and at once began turn
ing the handle, and with so much energy
that the sounds of the instrument drew the
other members of the imperial family to the
room. The children, delighted, began to
dance. Thereupon Prince William, looking
at his eldest son, observed to the chancellor,

It Failed to Become Popular.
Six years have passed since the revised ver-

English speaking world. For almost de-
cade attention had been directed to the place
where the scholars in charge of the great I'M
dertaking were pursuing their work. Its
completion was regarded as an epoch in re-
ligious history. Many believed that millions
would be interested in the new version who
had never carefully studied the old. Some
thought that it would result in general re-
vival of religion. The translation was almost
universally commended by biblical scholars
and theOlogians. Great praise was bestowed
on the men who were so long engaged ON the
